Clarence Eugene Baxter, whose prelim
inary hearing on n chargo of bigamy occu
pied several days In police court during
February, was discharged by Judge Gordon
Saturday afternoon. Tho caso had been
undor advisement for nearly six weeks.
In Humming up tho caso tho Judge men
tioned Bovernl elements of testimony which
had caused him to rule in favor ot the de
fense, but gnve special prominence to tho
otio of race. The woman who acted as
prosecuting witness and who claimed to
bo wifo No. 1 has negro blood, though In
Just what proportion of Ethiopian nnd Cau
casian was not shown definitely. The
statutes of Nebraska sny that a person of
one-fourth colored blood or more cannot
contract a marriage with a white person.
This fact bad great weight In determining
tho Baxter case.
'Unless tho first marriage -was valid,"
aald tho Judge, "thero was no crime In
contracting tho second marriage and In this
instnnco tho stato has failed to show that
tho first mnrrlago was regular and accord
ing to law."
Wifo No. 1 did not claim a ceremonial
union with Baxter, but anchored her faith
to tho common law marriage.

it would nppear to a mnu on Tenth street

flyers to Chicago, Travel during the past

this train is now questioned by tho Bur
lington's "Chicago Limited," leaving here
at 7:30 p. m., aud arriving in Chicago nt 9:30

trains for first place, and with most travelers
a preference between tho two nppears to bo
merely another form of tho great question
of tho day "Shall I get up?"
But these are not the only trains. There

rlsp comment on tho additional train
sorvlco of tho Burlington continues to bo
heard about town. And as for congratula
tions nnd complimentary notices, General
Passenger Agent Francis had to get n rake
to clenr them off his desk when he returned
from Chicago on Thursday. Space will not
permit tho publication of all those letters,
but hero aro a few excerpts just to show
what Omaha men nro thinking about:
Victor White "You'ro safo on the Bur
lington." H. II. Hake "This Is Indeed 'Burlington'
to nntlclpato way In advance thu wants ot
Its patrons."
13. R. Perfect "I can readily say that thu
Burlington's service is without equal in this
part of tho country."
William Wallace "I mado a recent trip
over tho Burlington Routo In ono of tho
new trains between Omaha and Chicago. 1
am- glad to say everything, everything, was
delightful. Nothing could be better."
Georgo E. Barker "I think tho action of
tho Burlington is very entorprlslng and com
mendable. Every day I hear tho Burling
tan'a Bcrvlco praised nnd deucribed as tho
best between here and Chicago."
Georgo W. Mercer "Another evidence of
that entcrpriso which has madn tho Bur
lington tho leader ot all western railroads,
and done moro to build up Omaha and tho
stnto of Nebraska than any other agency."
AV. M. Oilier "I have had occasion to use
tho Burlington between hero and Chicago
a great many times. I have always found
the service excellent. Its action In furnish
ing tho pcoplo of Omaha with four fast
trains to Chicago deserves tho highest
praise."
L. E, Pyton "Within tho past few years
I havo had occasion to make numerous trips
by rail nnd havo invariably selected tho
Burlington, and that because of Its well
known attention to details, superb equip
ment, reliable tlmo and solicitous attend
ants." S. E. Howell "I havo found that when
ever any improvement or advancement could
bo mado for tho benefit of tho traveling
public tho Burlington has always been first
and most liberal In this Improvement. I
think tho pcoplo of Omaha cannot help but
commend and nppreclato tho action of the
Burlington In giving thorn better and moro
frequent scrvlco than heretofore."
Georgo M. Tlbbs "Tho Burlington surely
Is entitled to tho highest commondatlon for
Its action. It 1b a stroko of enterprise, not
only worthy, but characteristic of tho nur
llugton. I havo traveled for many years
and am frank to say that on no other rail
road havo I recolved tho same scrvlco or
felt so much at homo."
The True Civil Service.
E. M. Bartlett "I nttrlbuto tho success
ot tho Burlington not nlone to Its smooth
roadbed, Its comfortablo nnd finely-appointed
trains, Its unequalcd dining cars service, Its
procautlon against accidents, but to tho nt
tractlvo featuro of its painstaking employes
and train service, which mako tho traveler
fool thoroughly at homo."
X. T. Llndscy "I had occasion to visit
Chicago recently and traveled over tho Bur
lington line. I could not help contrasting
tho dlffcrenco In tho nrrangoment of the
Burlington cars now and thoso of several
years ago. Whllo I aen convinced that the
Burlington system has always boon ns good
as tho best and had na good an equipment
ns any road I bcllevo tho present elegant
fast trains which Icavo Omaha four times
dally for Chicago nro certainly us ftno ns
can bo seen on any other road east or west."
Gould Dletz "Tho placing In scrvlco of
two additional trains between Omaha and
Chicago by tho Burlington, making tho run
in fourteen hours, is very much appreciated
by tho traveling public, If ono may Judgo by
, tho liberal patronago which they bestow.
Indeed, with your excellent service, most
comfortablo cars, smooth tracks and tho un
varying courtesy of your employes, tho trip
to Chicago becomes a pleasant Jaunt rather
than n tiresome Journey."
C. G. Pcarso "I know of no placo where
tho ordinary man, tho ono who does not pay
excess fare, can rldo socomfortnbly nnd
have In every way such good service at upon
tho trains serving tho territory to the west
ward of Chicago; of this lino service that
offered by tho Burlington is a bright nnd
shining example. Tho four fast trains dally
seem to me. In tlmo of leaving Omaha and
of arriving in Chicago, to glvo tho most com
pleto and convenient scrvlco which has yet
been offered to us."
Slake u Nolo of Thin.
C. F. Weller "Tho Burlington nlways
leads and beckons to tho other roads to
keep up with tho procession. Tho two Bur
lington trains scheduled to make tho 500
mllo run between tho Missouri river and
Lako Michigan in fourteen hours or better
! ro being commented on very favorably by
tho traveling public. Tho advancement
mado in railroading during tho past ten
years Is phenomenal. Notwithstanding this
tho new movo on tho Burlington la a de
cided Innovation. Tho pcoplo of Omaha nnd
throughout tho west nppreclato tho nctlon of
tho Burlington In giving them better, faster
nnd moro frequent scrvlco than over before.
Wo tnko pleasure In stntlng thnt no road
over ottered better facilities to tho traveling
public than aro today offered by tho Bur
lington." J. A. Johnson "Tho addition of tho two
elegant through Chicago trains by tho Bur
llngtnu Is a step that should ba fully ap
preciated by tho traveling public. Tho time
of departure from Omaha and tho tlmo of
arrival In Chicago Is so conveniently ar
ranged that It only requires tho In-llnatlon
and tho price of tho ticket; tho trnln Is
ready when wanted. With tho Burlington's
elegant dining car servlco and tho well
known courteous attention of Its employes
tho Innovation will not lack for tho patron-
ago deserved. Personally I fully nppreclato
tho move."
Harry P. Deuel "That this train like nil
others on tho Burlington will prove a suc
cess, there is not tho slightest doubt. And
yet, this additional scrvlco Is but In keep
ing with the old-tlmo policy of the Bur
lington to lead In everything that will
conduce to the comfort, safety nnd conven
ience of Its patrons. It was the first to
put on tho dining car service to tho Mis
souri river, somo thirty years ngo. I re
member It well, for we had quite an ova
tion on tho event. Then came tho "Miller
platform," air brakes, et cetera, all In
auguratedas to this service by tho Bur
lington. It Is such push nnd entcrpriso
thnt has mado tho Burlington the leading
passenger lino out of Omaha, which It 'Will
continue to be so long as It continues to
pursuo Its traditional policy of progress."
General Charles F. Mandcrson "Noth
ing shows tho growth nnd Importance ot
tho trans-Mlssourl west better than tho .0
creaso of railroad facilities to the east. It
seems but yesterday that tho lines ot road
traversing Iowa nnd Illinois were each run
ning but ono slow train dally from Omnha
to Chicago. The necessities ot tho time
havo compelled tho tremendous chnngo by
which tho Burlington road now runs four
fast trains dnlly between tho Missouri river
nnd Lako Michigan. I havo had occasion
to go to Chicago since this Increaso of com
munication, and tho traveling public ns they
wero met upon tho trains seemed to bo
delighted with tho service. Tho daylight
run across Iowa nnd Illinois Is ono that
gives a vast opportunity to see tho wealth
and prosperity of theso great states. All
of theso trains nro well equipped, nnd, leav
ing Omnha at 4 p. m. or 7:30 p. m. ono ar
rives In Chicago ready to do a full day's
business there nnd return on the train leav
ing Chicago at'G:0 p. m.. nrrlvlng at Omaha
In tlmo for breakfnst. In addition to theso
facilities, a midnight train nrrlvlng at Chi
cago nt 2 20 the next nfternoon, affords
a half day for business at the great western
metropolis."
SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. I
At a confcrcnco of tho committee ap
pointed on platform, tho republican can
didates and members of the city central
committee, tho following platform was
udoptcd :
"We, tho republican party In convention
assembled, adopt tho following declaration
ot principles as applies to municipal gov
ernment: "Tho city of South Omaha should be gov
erned in tho Interests of all Its citizens with
out class distinction. No favors should bo
granted tho rich that aro withheld from
tho poor. Tho welfaro ot all tho people
Is, nnd of right ought to be, paramount
to personal Interests.
"All public affairs should bo administered
with tho samo rigid economy, the eame
scrupulous fidelity nnd tho same sound com
mon senso that govern matters of private
concerns. '"N
"Iibor is tho true unit of valuation. It
Is tho potent factor In all business transac
tions and demands a Just consideration nt
tho hands of our city. In the employment
of lnbor. by tho city, tho eight-hour law
should bo observed and a liberal wage paid
for faithful service.
"Thu highest possible credit of the city
should bo maintained. Maturities should be
promptly met and, when necessary, bonded
indebtedness should bo refunded at the low
cut posslblo rate of Interest.
"Expenses In every department of the city
government should bo diminished to the low
est point consistent with good services.
Taxes should too lovled and collected equit
ably, und tho rat of taxation redueed, as,
rapidly ns a progressive and economical ad
ministration will permit.
"Corporations and holders of public fran
chises nro amenablo to the public. They
should pay an equltablo proportion of taxes
and recognlzo Just demands of tho public.
"Water hydrantB, lights nnd other pub
Ho Improvements should bo extended ns
quickly as possible to tho homo owners In
tho suburban districts, who nro paying an
oxccsslvo nnd unjuet ratio of taxation com
pared with benefits received.
"Much depends on tho pollco department
of tho city, and tho present condition of
our department demands n radical change
No person should bo eligible to appointment
in this department who Is not sober, indus
trious nnd has tho best Interests of the
city nt heart.
"Tho deplorable condition of the garbage
department demands nn immediate and thor
ough reform. Wo Htrenuously oppose tho
payment of public money for tho removal
of garbago from prlvato property.
"Tho department should bo placed on a
competitive 'basis tinder tho supervision of
a sanitary Inspector, which would materially
reduco prices nnd better servo tho Inter
ests of tho public.
"Numerous Judgments havo been rendered
against tho city, and a number of damago
suits aro now pending on account of the

accorded Frcitog, and thoy want Bock to

on the ticket In his stead. If this Is dono
It will Insuro a solid German vote for

DISEASE--A CRIME,
Prof. S. A. Weltmer, the Great Magnetic Healer, Demons
trates that All Diseases Can Be Cured Without
the Aid of Medicines or the
Surgeon's Knife.
Marvelous Has Been the Success of This Eminent Scientist,
Who Has Given to the World Weltmerism.
"WELTMER, THE
I'rof. S. A. Weltmer, tho eminent scien
tist of Nevada, Mo., who originated that
Method of Muguctic Healing known as
Wcltmcrlsm, nnd which Is ondorsed by both
tho press and tho pulpit, has demonstrated
that dlseaso la a crlmo. In a recent Inter
view ho stated, "A crlmo Is a breach,
whether n breach of moral principles, of
law or of nature, it Is still u crime. Now,
dlseaso Is a breach of nature, brought on
by either an abuso of nature or by not fol
lowing nature'H edict, and whether this
breach bo in commission or In omission,
nature, like tho State, demands a penalty.
Now I wish to demonstrate that nt tho
present tlmo tho existing of dlseaso is a
double-headed crime, llrst by its appear
ance, second by Its contlnuntlon, for there
Is no dlseuBe, no matter how hopeless It
mny seem or ot how long standing, that
cannot bo cured, therefore, to contlnuo In
dlseaso Is a crime, not only to oneself, but
to posterity yet to como. Now wo have
demonstrated by scientific researches that
disease Is a product produced by human
hands, and Is unnatural, therefore It can
again be remedied by human hands. Tho
reason that tho method which I havo orig
inated has had such phenomenal success Is
becauso It nets In a perfectly natural man
ner, without tho aid of either drugs or tho
Burgeon's knlfo by going to tho very seat
of tho trouble, and plnclng tho constitution
In a robust condition, It cures nil dUcnsc,
no mnttcr whether chronic or acute. Take
for Instance, woman, who In tho mnjorlty
of rascH Is plaeed upon tho rack of torture,
simply becauso thoso organs which make
her a woman aro In nu unnulurifi condi
URIC ACID
Causes More Diseases in the Human
System than Any Other Poison.
The Great Kidney Remedy, Swamp-Root, Promptly
Cures All Iric Acid Troubles,
To Tcsl for Yourself Us Wonderful Curative Properties Every Reader
of the "Omaha Bee" May Have a Sample Bottle
Sent Absolutely free by Mail.
Sclenco has demonstrated thnt in n few
days' tlmo you brew enough Uric Acid In
your body to produce death.
Your kidneys nro your only salvation.
Heenusc when they aro well, they fitter
out this deadly poison.
So, when your kidneys are weak or out
of order you con understand how quickly
your entire body is affected, and how every
organ seems to fall to do Its duty.
Uric Acid causes moro sickness nnd suf
cring than any other form of poisoning. It
Irritates the nerves, makes you dizzy, rest
less, sleepless and Irritable. Causes rheu
matism nnd neuralgia, pain or dull ncho In
tho back, Joints nnd muscles; mnkea your
head ache and back ncho, cause Indigestion,
stomach nnd liver trouble; you get a sallow,
yellow complexion; makes you feel ns though
you had henrt trouble; you lack ambition,
get weak and waste away.
Tho euro for these troubles Is Dr Kil
mer's Swamp-Root, tho world-famous kid
ney remedy.
It Instantly relieves the congested, over
worked kidneys, aud gradually brings them
back to health. In taking Swamp-Root you
afford natural help to nature, for Swnmp
Root Is tho most perfect healer and gentlo
aid to tho kidneys that Is known to medical
science.
Healthy kidneys keep down tho excess of
uric acid, nnd you seen feel tho benefit in
new health nnd strength.
Swamp-Root should nt onco bo tnken upon
tho least sign ot Ill-health, It will mako
you well nnd Is for salo tho world over In
bottles of two sizes and two prices, llfty
cent nnd one-dollar.
Swamp-Root Is used In tho leading hos
pitals; recommended by skillful physicians
In their prlvato practice; and Is taken by
doctors themselves who hnvo kidney ali
ments, becauso they recognlzo In It tho
grentcHt and most successful remedy that
science has ever been ablo to compound.
To provo Its wonderful elllrncy, send your
name and nddress to Dr. Kilmer & Co., lllng
hamton, N. Y., when you will receive, freo
of all charge, a sample bottlo of Swump
Root nnd a valuable hook by mall, prepaid.
This book contains many of tho thousands
i upon thousands of testimonial letters from
I men and women cured. Swamp-Root Is so
I remarkably successful that our readers are

pnlu and agony which so often comes with
tho monthly period; It also dispels all dan
ger during that critical period known oh
change of life. In fact, It Is the only posi
tive euro for all femalo troubles.
Then, again, tnko man In that weakened
condition which is called Lost Manhood,
anil In my experience I have had thousands
of men place themselves under my treat
ment who have been almost drugged to
death hy nostrums they saw advertised,
and I am proud to say that I havo been
ablo to perfect a euro In every Instance "
Wo cannot but bellnvo with I'rof Weltmer
that to allow dlseaso to continue Is a
crime. Our reason for coming to this be
lief Is that it bus now been demonstrated
that there Is a euro for all diseases. Kor
Weltmerlsm has been given moro severe
tosta than has any curative power known
to Anan, and tho fact that It has cured
moro than 100,01)0 men and women from
every dlseaso known, Is positive proof that
WeltmerlHtn will euro when all else falls
Tho most remarkable featuro about WeU
inurlsm. Is that part known as the Absent
